Content not to be missed from Business Ethics Quarterly

A special Issue on Normative Business Ethics in a Global Economy: New Directions on Donaldsonian Themes - comprising 7 articles which examine different areas of Donaldson's theories and the contribution this work has made to current thinking.
 
"Given the endless history of business ethics casuistry, how can anything novel occur? Thomas Donaldson's work offers an answer. Donaldson helped change the way that we think about business ethics. Donaldson's work has played a unique role in inspiring a generation of business ethics scholars to think imaginatively about the role of theory in business ethics reasoning." Extract from an introduction by Guest Editor Alan Strudler.

Articles include:

Margaret Blair, in her article, 'Of Corporations, Courts, Personhood, and Morality' identifies a tension in recent corporate jurisprudence.

In their article, 'When Ethical Tones at the Top Conflict: Adapting Priority Rules to Reconcile Conflicting Tones' Danielle Warren, Marietta Peytcheva and Joseph Gaspar propose priority rules to promote a multi-tone reconciliation process regarding organizational values.

A further article by Peter Jennings and Manuel Velasquez 'How are Ethical Values Related to Economic Prosperity?' credits Donaldson for his investigation of how moral values play a role in economic success.

We invite you to explore the entire issue without charge until 15th April 2016.
